And trailers for the other major movies coming out this quarter. Four stand out to me for different reasons. The two in green I really wanted to include in the poll, but they would not fit. The two in red are two of the worst looking movies I've seen in a while. So watch at your own risk! One common thread in many of the movies this quarter are those which use violence in some way, shape or form for people to get their way. I don't remember seeing so many violent trailers at the same time, it was quite depressing!

April 3rd - Andre Gregory: Before and After Dinner  Documentary (From imdb.com:  an exploration of the life and work of Andre Gregory, groundbreaking director, actor, artist, and raconteur http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wBvlVV0uAU

Am I alone in being surprised that there is no trailer for The Hangover III yet? There are some things on youtube, one supposed trailer is just someone standing up a small hill from a freeway shooting video of Zach Galifianakis driving by shooting a scene for the movie.

The Croods looks so beautiful. I think it's a movie I will enjoy regardless of the script just because on beauty alone it will be worthwhile. Anybody else think the look is inspired by Avatar? And Oblivion looks great, I also love those kinds of movies. There's another one coming out this summer with Will Smith that looks good as well. As for Star Trek, I goofed up with the first post in this thread and missed the trailer. Had to go find it at the last minute (before I got to go for lunch... ) and didn't really even watch the trailer, but continued posting instead because I want to see the movie so bad I don't even need to see what's in the trailer!

Burt Wonderstone - Comedy is always too hit and miss for me, but I like both Carrey and Carell

Thanks for all the work, Peter. Love your movie threads.

The trailer for Burt Wonderstone has me very hopeful. And you're welcome! I was wondering about continuing with them, but realized that the last thread had more posts than any previous thread, so after 22 rounds, I guess things are taken off! (We've still to have a thread closed due to 1,000 or more posts though... )

Iron Man 2 was pretty meh, but it looks like IM3 is going to be a darker story, and I like it dark, so I'm looking forward to that. And I'm definitely looking forward to Star Trek Into Darkness, because Cumberbatch.

I only picked Iron Man 3. I think I'd like to see the Call, but I'm not sure yet... looks like it could be good. Not a huge trekkie... not into horror... dont like Jim Carrey... not big on James Franco... I'm just very "meh" on all the trailers I've seen lately. Most of it looked like stuff I can wait for DVD.

Not that I'll see anything until it's on DVD, but...Curious about "Oz the Great and Powerful", looking forward to "Iron Man 3" as I love the Avengers films (which includes Iron Man 1&2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Incredible Hulk, and The Avengers so far), and REALLY excited about "Star Trek Into Darkness" because "Star Trek" turned me back into a Trekkie after being fatigued out of it by the old shows and post-VI movies going from mediocre to outright bad.

And I am intrigued by "Emperor", coming out on March 8, with Tommy Lee Jones as MacArthur.

I decided to see if I could rank the movies in the poll according to how much I want to see them. Had no idea I was such a sci-fi geek!

1. Oblivion - Not only does this one look interesting, but with the CGI being so good these days, movie look so beautiful to watch. I loved the visual look of Prometheus and this one looks to be just as good if not better. Looks like it has a bit of a suspense/thriller edge to it...and MORGAN FREEMAN! And Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is okay to look at.

2. Star Trek Into Darkness - I remember seeing this in the theatre and being so disappointed....that it ended. I have waited very patiently since then. I am prepared for part two.

3. The Call - This one just look so well directed. And I love movies with a strong female heroine. Barry looks equal parts intelligent/compassionate/potentially kick-ass in this one. I hope it does well because I really enjoy her and her career has been in a bit of a slump for a while.

4. Oz the Great and Powerful - I started plugging this one ever since I saw the first trailer. Another beautiful stunner...plus an amazing cast. It'll be interesting to see to what degree it can become a classic like it's 1939 companion piece. But it's not a musical, right? So that'll probably keep it from reaching the heights of it's predecessor.

5. Pain and Gain - I already talked about this one at the end of the last thread. Rebel...Jeong...bulgin' biceps - I'm ready!

7. Incredible Burt Wonderstone - This one looks hilarious as well. But the best part of it might be the bloopers reel. Carrel is (in)famous for breaking up while filming. And I'm sure that Carrey has got what it'd take to mike Steve pee himself! If you see this in the theatre, stay and watch the end credits to see if they share any of this with us...of leave it for the DVD.

8. Scary Movie 5 - I'm usually not into the parody movies too much. I'm sure I have only seen a few of the prequels, but the trailer for this one was so good, I had to add it to my list. Plus a lot of interesting cameos and a lot of poking fun at the Paranormal Activity movies (which I looooove), so this one has a lot of potential.

Lots of smaller movies coming out this week. The Frankenstein Theory looks interesting/scary and I'm interested in all of the four documentaries as well. (Yes, it's official. I'm OLD! :lol)

The Frankenstein Theory (Horror/sci-fi with new cast. From imdb.com: &#8220;What if the most chilling novel of all time was actually based on a true account of a horrific experiment gone awry?&#8221http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK5WSD2PVHA

Hava Nagila: The Movie (Documentary. From imdb.com: &#8220;A documentary on the history, mystery, and meaning of the ubiquitous Jewish standard that follows the around-the-world journey of the song from Ukraine to Youtube.&#8221; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVHllTkuXao

White Elephant (Drama from Argentina. From imdb.com: &#8220;At a shantytown in the slums of Buenos Aires. Julian and Nicolas, two priests and long-standing friends, work tirelessly to help the local people.&#8221http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3NdYX7ysmA

A Place at the Table (Documentary. From imdb.com: &#8220;A documentary that investigates incidents of hunger experienced by millions of Americans, and proposed solutions to the problem.&#8221http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKOiT1vY7v0

Genius on Hold (Documentary. From imdb.com: &#8220;The story of Walter L. Shaw, a telecommunications genius, and his son Walter T. Shaw, a ruthless jewel thief, is a metaphor and a symbol for its time - for the twentieth century and for today.&#8221;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Cx7EXRp8o

The Croods looks so beautiful. I think it's a movie I will enjoy regardless of the script just because on beauty alone it will be worthwhile. Anybody else think the look is inspired by Avatar? And Oblivion looks great, I also love those kinds of movies.

The rocks that the girl climbed on really reminded me of Avatar... But I think the Crood's world is more colourful and whimsical

I have great hope for Oblivion... Maybe it will top my favourite Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report

The trailer for Burt Wonderstone has me very hopeful. And you're welcome! I was wondering about continuing with them, but realized that the last thread had more posts than any previous thread, so after 22 rounds, I guess things are taken off!

I finally watched Midnight In Paris on Netflix last night, I really liked it. I'm not usually a fan of Owen Wilson but he was quite good. I liked how it was shot as well. Although the yellow filter was a bit much sometimes it wasn't to insanely distracting. I'll probably buy it on Blu-ray when the price drops a bit more.

Iron Man 2 was pretty meh, but it looks like IM3 is going to be a darker story, and I like it dark, so I'm looking forward to that. And I'm definitely looking forward to Star Trek Into Darkness, because Cumberbatch.

I also thought that Iron Man 3 looked darker. I think part two was fun/silly and if they kept going in that direction, it would become self-parody. I'm wondering if the movie is darker because they are killing off Gwyneth Paltrow just to please so many people here at FSU!! And the lightbulb finally went on for after three mentions of Cumberbatch that he is not Eddie Redmayne. And I was so looking forward to see Redmayne in the new Star Trek movie!!

I'm looking forward to see what Baz has done with The Great Gatsby. Is 3-D necessary for this type of film? Will it be another Moulin Rouge or another Australia? I wasn't impressed with what bits I saw of Carey Mulligan in the trailers, so I want to see how she come across when the movie's out.

Lindsay Lohen is in Scary Movie 5? Wow. Now it's really official that her movie career is dead, LOL.

The Burning Plain - Charlize Theron, Kim Basinger, Jennifer Lawrence, JD Pardon [TV's Revolution] and John Corbett - Another one I really loved. It's written and directed by Guillermo Arriaga, who has had success with Babel and 21 Grams. But I think the movie studio dropped the ball with this one. Not sure what happened for this movie to not have succeeded as it's just as good as Arriaga's earlier works. And Charlize (for me) has now joined the group of actors who I am sure will be in a movie that I will enjoy. Well, Snow White and the Huntsman excluded - but which she was brilliant in. Theron is really on a roll these days. Basinger shines in her role as well and it's always great to see Jennifer Lawrence. She recently won as Oscar, ya know?

For those asking about Gatsby, I saw the trailer the other day in the theater when I was out to see Side Effects. Sorry, but on the big screen I saw ZERO chemistry between Carey Mulligan and Leonardo DiCaprio. In fact, Leo looked like he was in pain in one of the scenes shown. Sorry, but on the basis of the trailer I think it's a stinker.

In the book, in the scene I believe you're referencing (when he and Daisy finally meet up), he's supposed to be awkward and kind of emotionally in pain. So it worked for me.

I did have a huge sinking feeling when it was pushed back. Leo DiCaprio is such a perfect choice for Gatsby that it would really suck if the movie wasn't up to par. Moulin Rouge! has been in my top 3 since I was 11. I have an endless amount of love for that movie.
